wow64 doesnt -exist- in wine64 unless you compile the 32bit wine 
alongside it.

You have to build it twice, to get two binaries "wine" and "wine64" and 
if you build them "properly" what happens when you attempt to execute a 
64bit app with "wine" it's automatically relaunched with "wine64" But 
the reverse is NOT true.
